As an older adult who does not have children in the schools in Hernando County (Spring Hill, Brooksville and Weeki Wachee area), I was shocked to find out that children who are in the breakfast and lunch program were not given food to sustain them when school is out during the holidays. There are two volunteers who now help get food to those families whose children are in programs that do not feed during the holidays as school is out. They are taking food donations at various places through Hernando County until this Friday at: Wiggle Worms Christian Learning Center, 7270 Pinehurst Drive, Spring Hill; Christian Church of the WIldwood; 10051 Country Road (just north of Weeki Wachee Springs off of SR 19); and the Hernando County School Baord, 919 N Broad Street, Brooksville.
Tropic Shores Realty located at 3441 Deltona Blvd., also has a box for the wonderful volunteers of People Helping People and you can drop off food donations and/or clothes, especially clothes for teenagers. Thisalso a great organization if you would like to volunteer to serve a hot meal to anyone that comes through the door on Sundays at The Senior Hernando Club off of 19 and Rhanbuoy Road in Spring Hill. I volunteer when I can at this location, and Publix Supermarkets donates tons of bread and cakes to these families. I always shop at Publix because they donate every week to these families so they not only have bread at our meals, but they get two loaves to take home. This organization does not question or who why you are there and volunteers are asked to serve them because they are special people.
I find it hard to believe that in this great country of ours there are people without food. If you can donate a couple of cans of food, do it. It will not only make their day, but yours as well.
